ANOTHER UPDATE: Cochran raises another $250k on Coast

AOTHER UPDATE: The Cochran campaign says it held another fundraiser, last night, on the Coast at the home of Gayle and Victor Mavar that brought in $250,000. They’re estimating that by week’s end, Cochran’s campaign will have raised about $800,000.

For one week. In Mississippi.

UPDATE: State Sen. Chris McDaniel’s campaign just announced that his campaign for U.S. Senate raised more than $500,000 in the last quarter of 2013, and the campaign has more than $350,000 cash on hand.

The campaign says McDaniel has received donations from more than 4,400 “unique contributors from all fifty states, representing an average contribution of $114.”

This announcement came after news that a Sen. Thad Cochran fundraiser last night was a whopper, bringing in a who’s-who crowd and netting around $300,000.

The event was at the Eastover home of George and Christie Walker.

We won’t get campaign finance reports for another couple of weeks, but Cochran started this cycle with more than $800,000 cash on hand and has had at least a couple of D.C. fundraisers.
